Abstract :
Quasi-periodic pulsations in various wavebands are natural manifestations of emission of stellar flares. We suggest a diagnostic tool of stellar flares based on the coronal seismology and the solar-stellar analogy. Two approaches are used: (I) flare loop as a resonator for MHD oscillations and (II) flare loop as an equivalent electric circuit. Using optical, X-ray, and radio data we obtained flare plasma parameters for the red dwarfs EQ Peg, AT Mic, and AD Leo. The characteristic length of stellar flare loops l ~ R and their electric currents turned out to be one-two orders of magnitude lager than the solar ones. Advantages of proposed diagnostics in comparison to the scaling law methods are given.
